The original Relationship Performance™ reference resource

Career Fulcrum was the original instruction for Relationship Performance™ and is the foundation for achieving better work in better lives™. Practical organizing principles provide "illumination" for understanding and responding to the many universal personal, organizational and work role relationship factors within all workplaces. You will immediately note that the first three downloadable topics, called Illuminations, describe each of the distinct contexts of the monthly "QR Snapshot™," ...the cornerstone of rpPaq™. These topics are essential reference for any workers, all levels of supervision, candidates, recruiters, leadership and anyone seeking to design or improve work roles and organizations. For the best learning experience, the Illuminations are designed to be consumed in the sequence presented (by scrolling below), beginning with "Introduction." However each topic is "reasonably" understandable by random access. Every person in today's workplace should be familiar with Illuminations # 111, 112, 121, and 232 at a minimum.

Since each Illumination is offered separately as a PDF file, you may need a current version of Adobe's Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (free download at the Adobe web site) to open and view this file. The PDF files are pre-configured for printing (which is why some pages are blank). If you print, we encourage you to save paper by using two-sided printing.

Career Fulcrum's Flow framework instructs workers in separating who they "are" from what they "do." By applying these separate parameters much can be revealed as to work's potential happiness, toxic stress, joys, boredom and dissatisfaction, ...thus many answers and actions can become rather obvious and predictable. It's equally important for organizations to remember that the greatest work performance is derived from workers who are "in the Zone."

The Personal Triangle provides a means for greater self-understanding of who you are as related to work and offers a simple method for diagnosing and expressing what you need from work. You can apply this organizing principle to "take inventory" of your work requirements as well your potential value. By better understanding your Personal Triangle, you can use the Flow framework to more fully define your Flow Zone for offering peak performance while also having work happiness. As a worker, you may discover many things about you and work you've never considered before. Equally for leaders, supervisors and recruiters, this organizing principle will illustrate the three fundamental dimensions of what workers need and seek from theirwork. It provides organizations with a structure for designing, forming and sustaining more satisfying work and durable relationships. Applying thePersonal Triangle provides the organization with a powerful competitive advantage in attracting and keeping the best workers. The Personal Triangle reveals the complete landscape of work quality from the personal perspective.

To best succeed within today's workplaces and upon one's career path, it's crucial that every worker correctly understands the three dimensions of work quality as viewed from the organizational perspective. Ironically, this information is often not well understood, defined, communicated or periodically validated by either party. The Organizational Triangle is a powerful, reliable foundation of knowledge any worker can utilize and leverage as their "Career Fulcrum" throughout their career to gain what they seek. This framework should guide every aspect of a worker's attention and performance within their work role. Informed performance is far better (...and safer!) than assumed performance!

This Illumination combines the interplay of the two "Triangle" frameworks for creating and sustaining very high-quality work QR™ (aka: that's a "we thing!™"). Herein is a thought provoking description of the dance of quality occurring in relationships between workers and organizational work roles. This instruction also better prepares you for the guidance of the following Illumination 232:Relationship Performance, The Basics of Practice and for Weaving™ a better work role relationship (aka: better QR™).

Many workers and organizations simply are not creative enough in designing their work relationship to gain greater results, rewards and happiness. Here are eight different continuums that serve as examples for generating openness, better thinking and offer new ways perhaps for each party to design and "weave" better work. Note: complementary and updated audio and slide content from author is also available below...

Important note: since this content was created a number of years ago, the content regarding tools is not up-to-date as to the evolved, current rpPaq™ toolset, however all related principles remain consistent.
